+SCTP user-land implementation (usrsctp)
+
+SCTP is a message oriented, reliable transport protocol with direct
+support for multihoming that runs on top of IP or UDP, and supports both
+v4 and v6 versions.
+
+Like TCP, SCTP provides reliable, connection oriented data delivery with
+congestion control. Unlike TCP, SCTP also provides message boundary
+preservation, ordered and unordered message delivery, multi-streaming
+and multi-homing. Detection of data corruption, loss of data and
+duplication of data is achieved by using checksums and sequence numbers.
+A selective retransmission mechanism is applied to correct loss or
+corruption of data.
